Tom Pawlenty PAC Hosts ‘Republican Idol’

freedom-first.png

“Being a characteristically tight Minnesotan, outgoing Governor Tim Pawlenty’s Freedom First PAC doesn’t just spend its money all over town.  Oh No.  It wants some value for its bum dollar.

If you are a struggling Republican candidate dreaming about Pawlenty’s gravy pipe of corporate dough — Atria, Qwest, AT&T, Comcast, BNSF, Boeing, even Target! — the governor wants you to motivate your followers into going to the Freedom First website to vote.”

UW-Madison Republicans Still Classy After All These Years

Filed under: Gaaaah!, Wisconsin, No No NO, Real America, Failure — admin @ 08:32

So, walking toward the over-hyped Obama rally on the UW-Madison campus, the below was seen in the luxury high-rise student housing condo monstrosity which now stands where the old Square Four once sprawled. There appeared to be a deck party… and they had a banner.

Yes, this is University of Wisconsin-Madison. Yes, that UW-Madison. Maybe Leo Burt is making his way back to campus to do it right this time? Hardly new, this kind of right wing jackassery does have a precedent at Madison (after the jump.) (more…)

Your Pants are Lying to You

Filed under: No No NO, Gaaaah!, Tricky, Elsewhere, Essays, Ha Ha Ha, Branding — admin @ 08:22

screen-shot-2010-09-08-at-92409-am.pngThis isn’t the subjective business of mediums, larges and extra-larges — nor is it the murky business of women’s sizes, what with its black-hole size zero. This is science, damnit. Numbers! Should inches be different than miles per hour? Do highway signs make us feel better by informing us that Chicago is but 45 miles away when it’s really 72? Multiplication tables don’t yield to make us feel better about badness at math; why should pants make us feel better about badness at health? Are we all so many emperors with no clothes?

Read the rest at Esquire.

After the jump: I’m on the radio with Dave Ross talking about this. (more…)

Glenn Beck Fans Probably Failed GRE Quantitative Comparison Section

From the one-n non-official Glen Beck fan page. beck-facebook.png

Yeah, Al Clark, it does make you think. So 9/11 and Hiroshima are the same thing? Shintofascism bombed Pearl Harbor? The scary part of this is that there are a lot of people out there who are this good with Photoshop and yet are unquestioning Beck fans. The danger posed in that combination cannot be overstated.

Why does NBC hate Football?

Filed under: Gaaaah!, football, No No NO, Failure — admin @ 17:41

Did NBC do this last year? Those down and yard marker ice cream coned with a scoop of the offensive team’s logo in them? Worst, they don’t even come off the screen once the play starts. Did NBC receive a bunch of letters from viewers complaining about not having enough childish garbage on the field during game play? Look at the below, is there really a need for more graphic design vomit on the field? Is Sunday Night Football for Idiots now? Please stop this.
